Hellenbrand's Iron Curtain Junior is a single tank system that is designed to remove moderate levels of iron and odor in homes with lower water use.
A custom programmed controller automatically maintains a pocket of air inside the filter to oxidize iron and hydrogen sulfide.
Once oxidized, a multi-media filter bed traps these contaminants. The only thing you see is fresh, clean water.
Best of all, the Iron Curtain Junior is chemical-free, and incorporates Hellenbrand's latest water-saving features.
The Iron Curtain Junior's controller was custom programmed to accurately inject air at the correct time during the regeneration process. It can be fine-tuned with multiple rinse and backwash cleaning cycles for enhanced removal of the nastiest water!
The controller operates a full-flow 1.05" diameter valve. This valve uses ultra heavy-duty components, and is elegantly simple with no screws, springs, or screens to plug up or jam.
The Iron Curtain Junior uses the same patented Vortech Plates as the standard Iron Curtain Systems.
Standard iron filter systems pull water in the path of least resistance unevenly through the tank down towards a small cone. This reduces the filter media's effectiveness, and results in uneven buildup that is much harder to flush out.
The Vortech Plate runs the full width and pull water evenly through the tank for balanced loading, and a much more efficient regeneration.
Benefits include:
15% more capacity = fewer regenerations
30% less water required for backwash
40% less pressure drop across system
If filter beds cake up with iron, manganese, or bacteria, they lose their functionality. For filters to stay clean, they need to backwash and flush out this foreign material.
Standard iron filters have a weak backwash that simply rises up through the filter bed like blowing bubbles in a glass of milk with a straw.
The Hellenbrand Vortech Plate acts like an agitator in a laundry machine and sends a powerful circular flow through the filter bed. This aggressive flushing knocks out debris for superior filter media cleaning.
